Navistar Defense unveiled the MaxxPro Wrecker with Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) level protection at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Winter Symposium and Exposition.
The International MaxxPro Wrecker MRAP vehicle allows two- to three-man crews to retrieve damaged or mission-disabled vehicles and carry out other support missions.

The new MaxxPro utility variant provides its crew with the same ballistics, mine and Improvised Explosive Devise (IED) protection used on all MaxxPro MRAP vehicles currently in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"The Wrecker is another example of what Navistar is capable of configuring from one proven and reliable platform," said Archie Massicotte, president, Navistar Defense. "The Navistar design maximizes the supportability and maintainability of these vehicles with a high degree of commonality of parts among all MaxxPro variants."

In addition to the Wrecker, Navistar also has two new additional recovery MRAP utility variants, the MaxxPro Cargo and the MaxxPro Tractor. All three utility vehicles are built on the company's flexible International WorkStar platform with a MaxxPro Dash cab. The vehicles are powered by MaxxForce D 9.3L I6 engines.

The company is also currently competing in the new MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) program to produce the next generation of MRAP units for Afghanistan.
